Spectrum MX (X139)Production
Matsumoku, 1985-86
Description
First appears in the 1985 UK catalogue, available in Transparent Red or Transparent Blue.
Listed in the Jan April and Sept 1985 US pricelists at $299.50, rising to $349 by August 1986.
The MX does not appear in the April 1987 pricelist.
Translucent coloured lacquer covers the whole guitar, even the fretboard, and the finish is solid!
MX guitars seldom show any fading or scratches on the fretboard, even after 25+ years.
There are rumours of some very rare white ones. But this seems to be the Westone version of an urban myth.
According to all the catalogues and price lists that we know of, they were only available in red or blue.
